ah, I can see why it's not recommended,but that aside, it just replaces the module data with the class data,so in retrospect, I assume it's almost exactly like "from module import class as module" (in a way)which shouldn't pose any REAL performance bamf other than with initialization... heh(shouldn't be anything big for the sake of simplicity)

the only thing I'm concerned about it global vs local...but even then I can just do sys.modules[name] to access the global data there... heh

but hey if it fails, I can always resort to importing the module itself and using the global reference there... heh
